Exclusive: Trey Songz Reality Show A Ratings Disaster

Scantily clad singer Trey Songz may not see his BET reality show ‘My Moment’ renewed for another season – if it’s latest viewing figures are anything to go by.

Full story after the jump…

After a somewhat promising start back in June, the show’s ratings have dropped to dismal depths – with this week’s episode bringing in an embarrassing 0.461 million viewers (this despite it being aired nationally).

Worse still, the disastrous figures landed the show in last place among all Cable shows on the day of its airing (August 4th).

This will no doubt come as a blow to BET, Songz, and his team – who sources say had been lobbying for another season of ‘My Moment’.

———————————————–

Needless to say this is yet another case, point, example of why not everyone is meant to have a reality show. Similar themed-series’ by the likes Monica and Keyshia Cole excelled largely due to the fact that both artists had established themselves as chartable artists – with their respective shows serving only to further their reach.

With ‘My Moment’, however, it is unavoidably clear from the get-go that the objective is to present Songz as superstar. Yet with only one Gold album to boot (out of three) and a fanbase who appear to be more concerned with what’s in his trousers than his talent (an image Songz cultivated for himself), it’s not surprising to see such plans falling through. Matters aren’t helped by the fact Songz has as much personality as a loaf of bread, either.

Business will have to pick up with the swiftness if ‘My Moment’ isn’t to hit the cutting room floor.

Personally… I luv Trey songz as an artist but I cannot stand his reality show, It’s so boreing but I love Trey Songz!!! He should have had a tv special on BET instead of a reality series. All he is doing is showing what he do on tour & how he plan on building a brand for himself. He could have done all that in a 1 hr special on BET just my opinion…. I still luv u Trey!

Trey had NO BUSINESS getting a reality show, even if it’s on B.lacks E.mbarassing T.hemselves. He is not a superstar of ANY kind. He is a mediocre, generic “R&B” singer with a few moderate hits, mainly on urban charts. He released 6 singles off his latest album and took almost a year to go platinum. Trey only has fans because of his looks and the people who truly like him just for his music are few and far between. This n**** will fade BACK into the background soon enough. He should be more humble and then he may redeem himself

If you have no interest in Trey of course its gonna be boring to you. As a fan from 2005 I enjoy watching the show becuase i remember when he didnt have it like this and see how far he’s come is truly remarkable! As for him wanting another season, he said him self he does’nt want to do another season because the point of the show was to capture his moment on the BP3 Tour and he doesn’t want to be known as a reality star. So i dont know where you got your info from but seriously the bashing of Trey is becoming pathetic now. If you felt so strongly like this about Trey why didnt you say all this to him when he was there doing the interview?

I totally agree Trey is very COCKY and STANDOFFISH !!!! I like his music and will be seeing him live in a few weeks but mainly for MONICA. Other than that the show is boring. He is not a very approachable artist. How can u want fans and u ain’t doing s*** for them.

And another thing the show is suppose to be inspirational, just cuz Trey is not on national TV making an ass out of himself or his family does not mean its boring. I respect Trey more for how hard he works to be the best and make haters like yall eat ur words! Passion Pain & Pleasure – September 14th! I know Sam and Trent will be the first in like to go get it lol!

OMG i thought it was a TV special. I was confused because i couldn’t understand why they were doing a special on him and presenting him like he’s some kinda superstar. Now i find out it was actually a reality show? He needs to establish himself first so no surprise here. I like some of his older songs but i can’t stand him as an individual. Dude is too full oh himself. I don’t find him s*** at all. Every time i look at him all i see is Terrence from 106 and Park. Are they related? Any who, it’s whatever man.

@Quanberg ok you must be a new fan/hater/admirer/on-looker because Trey does more for his fans than any other artist period! He used to ustream all the time (when he wasn’t so busy) he gives money away, KNOWS his fans by name and takes hella pictures with his fans and does meet and greets. And if u watch his ustreams then you know he has hella personality and is funny and charming. But i heard great reviews from the first show in Mobile last night so ur gonna enjoy yourself!

It really is a shame when someone life is so #dead tht they have to hate on another person. Trey Songz is on his grime, he was just like us once before, and just beacuse he has accomplished his goals, & He is where you wanna be doesnt mean you have to hate, congratulate him give him his props, you dnt how much he goes through not being able to see his famlily on normal basis. Trey Songs fans doesnt just acknowledge him for wats in his pants, Trey is a very handsome man, but his voice is what stands out. So for all the haters that always have Trey’s name in your mouth, #TREYSONGZ & #TREYFAM say fck yall and we back to the MONEYYYY!

HURRAY!!! SAM SPEAKS THE TRUTH!!! DONT GET TOO EXCITED SAMMY BOY… EVEN A BLIND MAN THROWING DARTS EVENTUALLY HIT THE TARGET. JUST SAYIN, HAHA. BUT HE’S GOT IT RIGHT THIS TIME. TREY SONGZ IS STUPID ASS 2 BIT AVERAGE RNB SINGER WHO HAS TO RELY ON HIS LITTLE BOY LOOKS TO GET THE GAYS AND CHICS. NO ONE IS CHECKING HIM OUT. CALLING THIS SHIZ OUT NOW – TREY SONGZ IS DONE IN THE MUSIC BIZ. NUFF SAID. WUT’S HE GONNA DO NOW?? JUST ASKIN… *SNICKER*

I THINK THE SHOW IS BORING BUT WHEN HE CAME TO VA I WAS HAPPY TO SEE HIM BUT OTHER THAN THAT HIS SHOW IS ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ BUT IT THINK THEY SHOUD BRING BACK KEYSHIA COLE AND MONICA SHOW AND I THINK TINY&TOYA SHOULD HAVE ANOTHER SEASON INSTEAD OF TOYA CUZ HER SHOW IS GOING BE BORING 2

That grape juice is cold, i love how they interview these artist and don’t support them. He basically state how he don’t like Trey. No loyalty! Star should think twice before they interview with that grape juice. If they got Rihanna they would do the same.

I am a really big fan of Trey Songz and I have liked his music ever since he was the skinny, cute but awkward looking guy with the soulful “Gotta make it”. However I have to admit that he shouldnt have done this docuseries. Its is pretty boring and as a fan, It doesnt really show things that Im interested in seeing..I think he is a phenomenal talent who is getting a hard time from the media because of the way he chose to market himself. When he was singing about real issues, yall wouldnt buy it..Now he cut his hair, gained some weight and got hella s*** and people are judging him for trying to make his money? That was a pretty risky move to make and if he is going to be an artist with longevity he is going to have to steer clear of that sexified image. Most women are attending this tour because they want to see him strip and grind on stage..I like the music, but I would be lying if I told you I wasnt interesting in seeing him let loose on tour! Passion Pain and Pleasure I believe will be Trey going back to making real R&B music now that he has gotten everyone’s attention. Give the young man a break! He’s talented, S*** and a young black man trying to earn his way in the business! Support this man on Sept. 14!

But this is all “of no-consequence …!!” The dominoes are beginning to fall; first Trey Songz, then Jason Derulo, and soon-not-long-after will come the “slide into irrelevancy” of one Justin Bieber! The Three Horsemen of the Apocalypse, whose arrival upon the since, promptly-qued not-long-after the “hysteria” surrounding ‘Feb 8th-09 Chrianna’ aren’t so foreboding after all!

ONE, a “melanin-challenged prepubescent non-threatening marginally-talented hack.”
THE OTHER, “a fat, feckless farce” who has to lie about his age and is marketed as the “anti-Chris Brown” …!!! (@Jason Derulo: YOU AIN’T NO SPRING CHICKEN, MOTHER FUCKA)
AND LASTLY, to round-out this “trifling trifecta,” whose hype, far-exceed their talents, the last of our paper-tigers(?) — a “limp and lifeless void” whose as “dull and uninspired” as driftwood, silently making its way down-current, and into “the sea of obscurity!”

OH WELL.. I LOVE MONICA. LOVE TREY AND KEYSHIA COLE
I JUST DONT UNDERSTAND . RATHER HE CAN SINGLIVE OR NOT
HE’S NO WORSER THEN ALL THESE POP ARTISI’S THAT USES AUTOTUNE
SO HE’S JUST MIXED IN.. AT LEAST HE’S KEEPING EVRYONE ENTERTAINED
PEOPLE CANT STOP TALKING ABOUT HIM

I’m not hating, make the money however you can, even if its by image! Its the same with Beyonce for me, she would not have been as successful without her “bootiliciousness”, because her voice is annoying. So true, Trey Songz is no exceptional singer but he is definitely an eye candy!

Artist like these are not going to be remembered for their singing but for their image!

^^^ While I won’t deny that image has played a big role in Beyoncé’s success, you’re in the minority regarding your opinion on her voice. She can sing well and is pretty talented, and if most people didn’t think that then she wouldn’t keep getting bigger and bigger with the release of each album after 13 years in the biz. A person whose success runs solely on image wouldn’t last that long.

Who’s really surprised? The show is BEYOND boring! It’s like the same episode airs every Tuesday. Him performing on the ‘Blueprint III’ tour, which I attended. So why would I want to see him perform the exact same thing I saw in January? Come on, the reality show was a fail from the start! And it doesn’t help that he lacks personality.

Not surprised in the lease..I didn’t even realize he had 3 albums til someone told me a few months ago..I was like #wheredeydodat lol and he is only getting recognition on this current album cuz of the “s** sells” method. I mean, where were these “stans” of his when he first came out? I liked “I Need a Girl” but these other songs he has out, eh..not really worth purchasing the whole album. I personally believe he is only benefiting on this album cuz of what happened to Chris..I mean, they came out the same freggin year and we all know who is the most successful!

And yes, I can compare the two (unfairly on Chris’ part cuz he has talent coming out his ass) cuz I went to the VA Stand Up concert and unfortunately, had to sit thru Trey’s set in order to watch Chris’..even a lil girl of 4 or 5 asked her Dad “where’s Chris? I want to see Chris?” when Trey was on stage..thank GOD–this is a good sign that great music isn’t lost on the youth!

Wow Sam, you stole the words right outta my mouth. Yeah, the show doesn’t have the public interest like Monica, and certainly not Keyshia Cole(who I think should do another season). Another run of this s*** would see BET losing money instead of receiving. On a side note, why do you continue to post this pic Sam?

I like his voice & music & im no groupie at all either. I dont care how he looks. Im a guy & he really isnt even all that good looking in my opinion. Im more a semi-Fan. Dude is way better than ‘Fist- dont fail me now- Brown’. *More Kanye Shrugs*

Seriously though.
I watched that once -out of sheer boredom, I had no idea he actually had a show before that- and it was boring as f*ck. And to add insult to injury he came across kinda douchey/arrogant , like if he was the one headlining this ~Grand Tour~, b**** you was the opening act.
His constant need to remind everyone how straight he is is also quite embarrassing/sad. Must be over-compensating for something.
One luke-warm song/album doesn’t warrant you to be thinking you’re hot s*** so this show flopping will prob bring him back down a couple notches.

Also I wonder how he feels with Jason Derulo & Usher gettin’ them hits and totally putting in back in the shade?
It’s like he was riding high when Chris’ career went South and Usher totally dropped the ball with that mess Here I Stand.
Then BOOM Usher comes back gunz a blazin’ & Derulo just pops up and they just start slaying the charts.Say Ahh & Ready were prob his peak so he better soak up every last minute of relevance he has.

some may not like r kelly but i would rather see a reality show from him.

hes been in the game 20+ years i’m sure he would be more entertaining than trey.

what can trey tell anyone?
______________________________________________________________________
Oops! I meant to say that I agree. I definitely would rather watch a reality tv show with R. Kelly, and I don’t even watch reality tv shows.

@ X,Y & Z – complete cosign. Jason Derulo is nowhere NEAR CB’s level and the fact that some say he is better is laughable at best. I don’t hate Trey, but the truth is that he is a half decent singer who only got his time in the spotlight because Usher was away and CB was persona non grata with the media. Now both are back and he’s already fading. You could see that happen in the 3 hour BET award show – the fastest decline in history.

That’s no hate to Trey. Some of his songs are great but his attitude is anything but. Why is it that those on top have the best attitudes, while those that feel they haven’t made it as much as they feel they should have (Trey Songz, Keri Hilson) have some of the worst attitudes?

Ok Thatgrapejuice.net where is your integrity as a Website! I like this website EXCEPT when you intentionally go out of your way to ATTACK, CRITICIZE, or HARASS Musical Artists. Trey Songz series on BET is not a Reality Show it’s a 10 Episode Documentary. It was never going to be a Second Season.

Please THATGRAPEJUICE you don’t have to continue to attack Trey Songz, Rihanna, Kesha and so on and so forth. Why not just focus on positively Highlighting more talented Artists as opposed to trying to Destroy the Careers of these Artists. If we wanted trash Media and Reporting we would simply visit Mediatakeout.com but I Expect MORE from this site!

Ok For those saying trey is marketing s** its true and also untrue. His album ready was really good I loved it and this is coming #teambreezy. The thing I always loved treys music and I was suprised he wasn’t getting a lot of shine but he’s not and entertainer like cb,and usher. He does have a good voice but he’s no luther vandross so no one really cares. Ive seen trey live and seemed really nice but when I watched the first episode of his show. I only manage to watch a minute of the show I was turned the hell off. He was smoking a cigar and had those stupid jayz glasses. Talking about this is the life Im living..blah,blah. Champagne bubbling. I was like n**** what happend to being humble. He was so arrogrant and he is personality is so boring. Im suprised cause he’s saggitarius like me and we have the craziest personality. We can be serious at times and then so carefree the next moment.So I hope he’s pretending for the cameras cause if he really is like that then I just let his music speak for itself. Cause I dont think I’ll like him as a person.

I’m a big fan of trey songz, its not about the looks for me, actual thats just a bonus in my books. Trey can sing and he will one day be big. He’s show wasn’t so great but he’s just showing the business side of him,in stead of the hot body side.
and for those who tink he has a personalitly of bread (lol) are wrong he’s actually quite funny if you look at the interviews he’s been in.
Trey it’s more than looks with me!!!
xxxxkadi.

Chris Brown is NOT back! I think the media is really unforgiving and that’s a shame cause I love his fan of a fan mixtape..Its fiyah! He needs to just enroll at Virginia State or something and continue to drop mixtapes and try his luck back in a few years..Oh and take Souljah boy with him..As far as Trey being arrogant? He is always nice to us girls that he invites back to the hotel after the show..*kanyeshrugz*

He is cocky, arrogant and egotistical…..a real turn off. I like some of his music. I think he really needs to humble himself, it seems like he has finally gotten the fame he was searching for and its gone STRAIGHT to his head. Get it together Trey….all the huge celebs know how to handle their fame and still connect with the people. YOU ARE TURNING ME OFF!!!

First of all i want some proof of these statistcis …. Trey has worked hard for the attention and success of his career …. He does more for his fans than any other artist … Trey actually talks to hsi fans ….. And yall ones who saying that his fans like the way he looks more than his misic is crazy … But if you want to go ther how about chris brown his fans like the way he looks more than his music along with Usher …. FANS HAVE ALWAYS LIKED THE WAY ARTISTS LOOK …. BUT YET AND STILL YALL WANT TO PIN POINT HIM INSTEAD OF ALL THE OTHER ARTISTS IT WORKED FOR …. TREY SONGZ REPRESENTS R&B SINGERS WHO JUST SING … ALSO THE ONES TALKING ABOUT HIS FANS R MORE INTERESTED IN WHAT’S IN HIS PANTS THAN HIS MUSIC CAN KICK ROCKS …NOBODY SAID ANYTHING ABOUT THE OTHER ARTISTS IT WORKED FOR LIKE PRINCE,MARVIN GAYE,KEITH SWEAT, ,BOBBY BROWN , AND ETC.

With that said, is anyone really surprised? Trey is just average. Not bad but he just doesn’t have that “IT” Factor. I enjoy some of his music as well as his collabos like the new joint with Fat Joe minus the annoying “YERP”…ewwww! I have said this in the past, I just don’t know why there are so many reality shows? The celeb ones seem to be the worse. They air their dirty laundry in public (Fantasia, Keysia Cole, Whitney/Bobby) its just not a good look IMO!

But this is all “of no-consequence …!!” The dominoes are beginning to fall; first Trey Songz, then Jason Derulo, and soon-not-long-after will come the “slide into irrelevancy” of one Justin Bieber! The Three Horsemen of the Apocalypse, whose arrival upon the since, promptly-qued not-long-after the “hysteria” surrounding ‘Feb 8th-09 Chrianna’ aren’t so foreboding after all!
_____________________________________________________

I JUST LOVE THE WAY YOU TURN A PHASE….LOL! I couldn’t agree with you more!

Why are there B****** on this site talking about Chris Brown? I swear you stans of “busted lip” Rihanna are freakin funny! This is a post about Trey Songz’s poor ratings leave Chris Brown the f*ck alone you secrete CB lovers!

Let me say this! I am a person who has NEVER seen Trey’s show,wish him luck. Trey has marginal talent,I think he’s cute but he got a messed up attitude,plus the industry is trying to push him.I did hear one of his songs from his new cd and it sounds pretty good but I won’t be buying his music unless I hear some VERSATILITY!

If there is anybody I would want to see in his own reality show,it would be Ray Lavender BABY!

I don’t t think that trey is arrogant, I like the fact that his documentary showed the business side of him, I don’t have a problem with that, but the documentary never really got my attention, I like trey and he is pretty charmin’ in a majority of the interviews, when he wants 2 be, but even trey himself even admitted himself that he’s a little arrogant(honey magazine), in the documentary, his personality wasn’t that captivatin’, I kept 4gettin’ about the show. and every time a commercial would go on, i’d change the channel.

HoodRat please nut up and stop it! They had no business giving him any creds on being a mega-star status for reaching gold!

About time this punk fade on out and allow Chris Brown entertain us with his dance moves and new movie flick!
Trey can eat a d*** which he does well,

R Kelly is coming back in full force writing hit music and bringing the OG’s back in the game to proclaim the Grown again music back to R&B with real mature adult fans and leave you hip hop thugs scrounging like crack heads

yo real talk trey songs is done chris brown is back the girls are starting back to get on his d*** his song dueces is killing and about to drop a song called matrix for the white people and he just sighned with biggest agency

“HAS AS MUCH PERSONALITY AS A LOAF OF BREAD ”
GTFO here with that s*** .stop being a hater !
Trey must be important enough for you to make a whole post about him
and so what if the show isnt a success name one other musician that came out the time trey did and has a show out ?
i dont see The SAM show playing on bet or on any other damn network .
oh yeah thats right , you dont have one …
i like the show , its not as entertaining as i thought it would be but im not going to sit there and negatively critic every single detail .
At the end of the day you win some you lose some.

^^ Cosign
Trey must be important enough for you to post about him literally EVERY DAY at least once.
But even haters have a purpose: Your site seems to be the best source for any Trey Songz news, if a little biased.

I LOVE TREY SONGZ MY MOMENT- THIS ARTICLE HAS NO CREDIBLE SOURCE- BECAUSE I CHECKED BET AND HIS SHOW IS NUMBER 3— AND ONE OF THEIR TOP SHOWS ON THE NETWORK>>>>http://www.bet.com/ontv/betshows/—— I THINK GOSSIP SITES SHOULD DO BETTER THAN COPY EACH OTHER— DO SOME RESEARCH. I ACTUALLY WORK FOR B.E.T- SO I AM A CREDIBLE SOURCE- AND HIS SHOW IS DOING AMAZING RIGHT NOW. TERRANCE EVEN MENTIONS IT IN HIS INTERVIEW with him ON 106 and Park.— I WISH GOSSIP SITES WOULD GET A LIFE AND STOP MAKING UP STORIES — GET A REAL SOURCE.

The show is incredibly boring to me. But, I don’t know why folks keep calling it a reality show and talking about renewals. He said the show isn’t a “reality show” but rather a 10 part documentary. So yea the lackluster viewership is a shot to his ego, but it doesn’t matter cuz it’s only for a season basically. I like Trey’s music, mostly his older material…but he’s over saturating the market. I understand the show is kind of a behind the scenes of his BP3 tour and some of the shows after, but he hasn’t MADE IT where people want to know what he’s doing…except his fans that are obsessed with his every move.

I do have this to say tho, I think folks also don’t like it, because it’s not like most “reality shows” that have ignorant antics. It is meant to be an inspirational type of show. I just think Trey should’ve stuck to mixtapes and features for this year, instead of pumping out a new album and docuseries to capitalize on his newfound fame. It seems most people are just becoming annoyed with him…and his team should’ve given him that advice instead of being yes men. People are fickled and switch quickly…and I didn’t believe this at first, but I now seriously believe his career is going to burn out if he keeps going at this pace. Slow the f*** down Tremaine! You seem to be a smart dude, and I heard an interview with you about how you smartly manage your money…so I’m sure you’re pretty well off now due to sales and you touring like a mf. So just sit down somewhere and enjoy your new fame and money, release some mixtapes to keep folks hungry for new s***, and do a few features…and enjoy! When will these labels and management teams realize shoving these people down our throats isn’t going to make us want to buy their s*** anymore than before.

Why is it that in our world, we cannot give our own that, love, and support? – I hear alot of us saying negative jargon-if the ratings had been better would your opinions been any different.? Are you letting low ratings allow you to prejudge? This very young artist is so talented, and seems t o have his head on his shoulder-let’s not let ratings determine our decisions, because I think this Brother has a lot to offer- I just hope he is focused as he seem to be , & don’t burn out in that show business world. Let’s Pray for him & show more LOVE Bless this critical race of ours!!!!!!!!! Thank you Steve Harvey for being in his corner on 96.3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
